34 Mount Tai

Unable to bear with the embarrassment that would follow should he admit that he was the one who destroyed the mountain, Percy boarded a quinjet with Natasha and enjoyed the flight to China. With the journey to China lasting just long enough for Percy to tell Natasha everything that happened on his journey, he finished as they landed.

"So first things first let's get in disguise and see what info we can gather in the area and then see how close we can get to the destruction and see if we can find any clues that may have been missed" Natasha says as she transforms herself into a black haired beauty in glasses

"Alright so what's our names this time?" Percy asks as he turns into a white haired surfer dude.

"We will be Chester Potter and Veronica Paris. We are here on vacation." Natasha says as she leaves the quinjet.

"Hey listen Nat we don't have to take this mission too seriously, let's just honk if it as a paid romantic get away" Percy says

"Oh and why is that" Natasha asks

"I may or may not have been the one to blow up that mountain when I returned. It was a accident and I couldn't stand to think what Fury would say if he knew. I'd never live it down" Percy says embarrassed

"That works for me, I was looking forward to us taking a small vacation when you got back. However you do know we will have to tell Fury when we get back in our report" Natasha says with a chuckle

" we will cross that bridge when we get there" Percy responds

"Let's go check in mountain man" Natasha says jokingly

Following after her, they check into a hotel room that gives Percy so uncomfortable vibes. Ignoring the feeling due to the strength that he has, he pays it no mind. As the two go about their day, with Natasha able to speak mandarin and thanks to the effect of his necklace, they were able to eaves drop in on surrounding conversations with them being none the wiser.

The mission was going smoothly, almost too smoothly, until the fourth day when a arrogant young master became captivated with Natasha's beauty and tried to steal her from Percy. While extremely angry that someone was attempting to steal his important someone from him, he was oddly shocked and happy that he got to live through the 'arrogant young master' trope that existed his Wuxia novels in his past life. Unfortunately for him, however, Natasha did not give him enough time to play the trope out before swiftly knocking him out before dragging Percy from the restaurant.

"You really showed him no mercy there" Percy says

"I'm not a huge fan of being treated like property and especially in front of the one I love" Natasha replies

"Oh yea speaking of love" Percy says as he takes the spare spatial ring he has out of his space ring

"Yes, yes a million times yes. I've been waiting for awhile now for you to ask me, though I would have preferred a more romantic way to have been asked" Natasha shrieks as she has one of the biggest smiles on her face

"Wait" Percy begins to say before getting a death glare from Natasha

"Wait what?" Natasha says as her killing intent begins to leak out

"I mean" Percy begins to say as he drops to one knee "will you marry me?"

"Yes and that's such a better way to ask" Natasha smiles

As Percy begins to gain enlightenment in the phrase a happy wife is a happy life the two return to their room for the night so that she can plan out her dream wedding. After a long cultivation session Percy's understanding of that phrase reached new levels, leading to much respect to the person who created that phrase.

As the two head downstairs for their complimentary breakfast they notice a odd lack of people. Well at least people that should be eating. Instead they find 10 large men blocking the entrance with the arrogant young master from the night before.

After a long speech about how she should be thankful that he would want her to spend the night with him and how he would make her pay later in bed for the embarrassment that he received. Unable to take it anymore, Percy swiftly appears before the group of strongmen and dispatch them in a split second before knocking out the young master.

Having grown tired of this whole fiasco, Percy takes Natasha's hand bringing them to their room where he summons a portal to a uninhabited island he found during one of his previous journeys. The two spend the next week on a nice romantic get away, when on the last day Percy scans the island over with his divine sense and finds a cavern that has a decent concentration of mystical energy. While not enough to make a scratch in his cultivation, it should be enough for Natasha to break through to foundation establishment or potential level 2 or 3 of it depending.

Leaving Natasha on the island to cultivate, he return to give Fury their report of what all happened. And as much as Percy hated to admit it, he fessed up to Fury about destroying mount tai upon his return to this earth.

Portaling back to the island as fast as he can due to him already seeing the laugh appearing on Fury's face, Percy rejoins Natasha as the two continue their cultivation journey.
