Do you know whether Huangdi(yellow emperor) people, ancestor of modern chinese, was farmer tribe or nomad?

" the Han dynasty historian sima qian's records of the grand historian places the reign of the yellow emperor, the legendary leader of youxiong tribes (有熊氏), at the beginning of chinese history. the yellow emperor is traditionally credited to have united with the neighbouring shennong tribes after defeating their leader, the yan emperor, at the battle of banquan."

Why actually they made them ugly?

I don't think they were ugly from the point of ancient people's view.
If western women were beautiful to Mongols, but Timur people, there would be a catastrophe.

The notion of beauty, in fact, has a very large cultural component.
