"A joke, you say?"
Xigou was utterly baffled and said speechlessly, "So it turns out that this restricted area only allows humans to enter, and no other creatures can get in."
Dogs can only bark; they can't tell jokes.
Zhixing mused, "I think the focus shouldn't be on telling jokes, but rather on finding a way to make Tree Bark Face laugh."
Xigou blinked and pondered, "How do we do that?"
Zhixing's lips curled up slightly as he whispered, "Just follow my lead."
He raised his hand and drew a circle above Xigou's head.
Xigou was extremely speechless, baring his teeth in a grimace, and refused to cooperate.
Zhixing laughed, "Just try it."
He drew another circle.
Xigou sighed quietly and cooperatively spun around in place joyfully.
Zhixing kept drawing circles, and Xigou kept spinning in place.
Then, Xigou became dizzy and thudded down to the ground.
