Abstract: This is the second paper in a series to study regular representations for vertex operator algebras. In this paper, given a module $W$ for a vertex operator algebra $V$, we construct, out of the dual space $W^{*}$, a family of canonical (weak) $VotimesV$-modules called ${calD}_{Q(z)}(W)$ parametrized by a nonzero complex number $z$. We prove that for $V$-modules $W,W_1$ and $W_2$, a $Q(z)$-intertwining map of type $W^{\prime }choose{W}_1{W}_2$ in the sense of Huang and Lepowsky exactly amounts to a $VotimesV$-homomorphism from $W_{1}otimes{W}_2$ to ${calD}_{Q(z)}(W)$ and that a $Q(z)$-tensor product of $V$-modules $W_1$ and $W_2$ in the sense of Huang and Lepowsky amounts to a universal from $W_{1}otimes{W}_2$ to the functor ${calF}_{Q(z)}$, where ${calF}_{Q(z)}$ is a functor from the category of $V$-modules to the category of weak $VotimesV$-modules defined by ${calF}_{Q(z)}(W)={calD}_{Q(z)}(W^{\prime })$ for a $V$-module $W$. Furthermore, Huang-Lepowsky's $P(z)$ and $Q(z)$-tensor functors for the category of $V$-modules are extended to functors $T_{P(z)}$ and $T_{Q(z)}$ from the category of $VotimesV$-modules to the category of $V$-modules. It is proved that functors ${calF}_{P(z)}$ and ${calF}_{Q(z)}$ are right adjoints of $T_{P(z)}$ and $T_{Q(z)}$, respectively.
