If Qingdai were to get serious, her lethal allure to ordinary men was strong, as evidenced by Rokuro's unwavering devotion to her.

"That's right, just accomplish this task." As he toyed with the soul he had separated from Qingdai, Chen Yu's face displayed a hint of mischief, though his manner was quite serious.

Upon hearing Chen Yu's confirmation, Qingdai felt reassured but still sought clarification, "Is Rokuro's colleague's boyfriend a regular person or a Transcendent?"

This was aftereffect of too many setbacks with Chen Yu, as Qingdai worried about encountering another powerful or mysterious Transcendent who could see through her tactics, rendering all her efforts futile.

For the current Qingdai, she did not want to lose Rokuro as her boyfriend over complications due to unsuccessful work.

"Don't worry, both Rokuro's colleague and her boyfriend are regular people, and you will have assistance in this matter," Chen Yu could naturally understand Qingdai's concerns and explained, "While I can't tell you the reasons, what you can know is, the people assisting you are from the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Intelligence Agency."

Upon hearing the names of these two departments, Qingdai's expression changed suddenly, but she then felt a sense of relief.

Being involved with government departments, it was clear that the matter wasn't simple and might even be quite complicated. If it were the old monster Tashiro Family who hadn't yet passed, they might have had the standing to meddle in such affairs, but the current Tashiro Family, having lost their Sub-Legendary patriarch, had clearly lost the influence to be involved in such incidents due to their declining power.

But for Qingdai herself, accepting Chen Yu's commission to get involved in this, and operating on behalf of the Metropolitan Police Department and the Public Security Intelligence Agency, not to mention the potential of getting to know individuals from these two departments and broadening her connections, simply the fact that Chen Yu had helped her separate the other soul from her body was enough to make her give it her all.

Moreover, the matter seemed quite intricate at a glance, yet it actually posed no danger, merely requiring one to chase after a man. Qingdai was still very confident in this respect.

"I understand, I will take care of this task," Qingdai agreed, her gaze inadvertently falling on the soul in Chen Yu's hand. She hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to remain silent.

Chen Yu seemed to have noticed her gaze and, after a bit of consideration, asked her, "What would you like to do with this soul? If you need, I can help you turn it into a Sub-Legendary Level Puppet as a form of payment for working for me."

"A Sub-Legendary Puppet!?" Qingdai was taken aback, gaining a deeper understanding of Chen Yu's strength.

But she did not dare to accept the offer then.

Sub-Legendary was the level of power that the old monster had when he was alive, only attainable at full burst, and even less than a normal person when his energy was retracted.

Now Chen Yu was saying he could turn an ordinary soul into a Sub-Legendary Level Puppet, which of course startled Qingdai and also left her frightened. How foolish and naive had she been to provoke such a being in the past, even going so far as to tease him by plucking hairs from the tiger's head?

However, looking at the soul held in Chen Yu's hand now, Qingdai felt as though she too could be easily manipulated by him, so she quickly replied, "Isn't that a bit too much? Sub-Legendary Level combat power is a precious resource, don't you want to keep it for your own use?"

Upon hearing Qingdai's words, Chen Yu's expression grew more amused, "Oh? You think Sub-Legendary Level combat power is precious, not because you have been with this soul for decades and can't bear to part with it?"

Chen Yu's remark made Qingdai blush with embarrassment, but she quickly shook her head, saying, "Professor, I am a woman, and that soul is a man."

Qingdai's words were not complete; all the hardship she had suffered in her earlier life was also because of that soul.

It could be said that without that soul, she might have been just like Tashiro Nanao, an ordinary young miss of the Tashiro Family, who would serve the family's interests but never reach her current state.

Qingdai had suppressed her resentment toward that soul in her heart for over twenty years, but before the soul was separated, she hadn't dared to entertain any thoughts, as any ideas she had could be detected by the other part under their shared double-soul condition.

But with the divide now removed, her resentment finally exploded.

Chen Yu, of course, noticed such intense emotional turmoil, but he didn't say much, only igniting a purple Netherworld Flame between his fingertips, purifying the soul.

At the same time, other materials appeared in his other hand, which he cast into the Netherworld Flame, smelting them together.

Qingdai's eyes widened, unsure of what Chen Yu was doing, but she could see that the soul being tempered by the purple flame was enduring immense agony.

The flame's smelting did not last long, and the materials Chen Yu added were not excessive. Soon the smelting and forging were complete, and he turned the soul and the materials he brought out into a hollow metal sphere, within which a light purple flame still burned.

"This is a set of Soul Armor, consider it your payment. Wearing it, you can wield Sub-Legendary combat power," Chen Yu explained, then tossed the metal sphere toward Qingdai, where it merged into her body.
